Bryce:
Playlist
from May 27, 2011

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Bryce, will you bring me back a choc ice?

I designed the giraffe after looking at a bunch of sci-fi comics and then getting just a little bit stoned.

I thought you got the paper jammed on the printout, God.

Hi, by the way, God.

Hola, Vicki, from Deities Like Us.

That giraffe must be British or Aussie or something. Nobody in the U.S. says "choc ice." In fact, I'm not even sure what that is.

Rhino:
I don't feel like going out today. I think I'll just stay home and maybe charge at the wall.

I feel a hint of tenseness about the ultrahigh volume as the top of the hour approaches ... should I call the EMS now, in advance of a ruptured eardrum? Bryce this is true! Whereas Jean Michel Jarre is just making that up; everyone knows hobos do not live with their moms.

Jean Michel Jarre & a Hobo:
It is true that hobos do not live with their moms, but it's Jean Michel's mom and if she weren't napping she'd tell you so herself.

In 1905 in San Francisco, 11-year-old Frank Epperson was mixing powdered flavoring for soda and water out on the porch. He left it there, with a stirring stick still in it. That night, temperatures reached a record low, and the next morning, the boy discovered the drink had frozen to the stick, inspiring the idea of a fruit-flavored 'Popsicle'. Eighteen years later in 1923, Epperson introduced frozen pop on a stick to the public at Neptune Beach, an amusement park in Alameda, California. Seeing that it was a success, in 1924 Epperson applied for a patent for his "frozen confectionery" which he called "the Epsicle ice pop".[1] He renamed it to Popsicle, allegedly at the insistence of his children.

Unilever's Lawyers:
POPSICLE® is a registered trademark of Unilever and is NOT a name for just any frozen pop on a stick. The POPSICLE® trademark can only be used to refer to the specific frozen pop products manufactured and sold by Unilever and should not be used to refer to frozen pop products of other companies or to frozen pops generally. Appropriate generic terminology for frozen pops on a stick includes the terms "pop(s)", "ice pop(s)" and "freezer pop(s)". Misuse of these trademarks may violate Unilever’s exclusive rights in the mark.

Hey Bryce.It's funny your playing gamelan. Had this one record for awhile that I just listened to last night.It's gamelan from 1972 recorded in this village in Sebatu,Bali think it's what you where talking about being one of the oldest on the island.I really liked. It's on Archiv produktion records LP 2533 130.

Joe Voltage:
First side was a little scratchy but really nice stuff. The only gamelan record I've been able to find during my diggings. The people on the cover are dressed in these blue and pink outfits. Very spiffy.

I had a weird dream last night or the night before about a giraffe. My daughter and I were walking around a barn and I walked in and she was petting an animal and then in dream like weirdness, you know, how things morph around in dreams, it was a giraffe she was petting and I yelled to her to get away from it because it wasn't like a cow and could step on her or chomp on her.

Ghatotkacha is a WFMU DJ. His maternal parentage made him half-Rakshasa (giant), and gave him many magical powers . He got his name from his head, which was hairless and shaped like a pot (in Sanskrit, Ghatam means pot and "Utkach" means hairless")

Dream time music on today's show. So mellow, but also so compelling ---

Sad to say I've never made it out of Jakarta, which is not the most scenic place one can imagine, but hopefully there'll be a nex time. Bandung, Yogyakarta, mmmm ...

Bryce, sitting here with a cassette in my hand - Kacapi Suling - Dangiang Parahiangan. Title: Sunda Mekar. On Dian Records. Cassettes were the big thing on my first visit in 1989. Still have them lying about the place, some very syrupy poppish.
